Easter weekend means changes to this Friday's rubbish and recycling collections.

Rotorua Lakes Council said areas that normally have their rubbish and recycling collected on a Friday will now have it collected this Saturday March 31 instead.

These areas are included Whakarewarewa, Te Ngae, Ngapuna, Lynmore, Owhata, Holdens/Hannahs Bay, Rotokawa, and Brunswick.

The change of day is for this weekend only.

People in these areas of Rotorua are encouraged to tell their friends and neighbours.

For those that normally have rubbish collected on Monday's this will remain as normal on Easter Monday.
